How does God choose His people according to Scripture?
Answered in 1 source
God chooses His people based on His sovereign will, selecting individuals from all nations to be redeemed through Jesus Christ.
The doctrine of election is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, asserting that God, in His sovereignty, chooses a people for Himself before the foundation of the world. This selection is not based on any merit or foreseen faith by the individuals, but solely on God's grace and purpose. Ephesians 1:4-5 emphasizes this truth, stating, 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.' The inclusion of people from every kindred, tongue, and nation demonstrates God's desire to glorify His grace and establish a universal church made up of drawn-out individuals who are redeemed by the blood of Christ.
